Abstract. This research allows us to show common problems such as the

green surface deficit, citizen insecurity, and lack of essential services that
reflect social exclusion risks. To the above added the absence of infrastructure
of the services provided by these systems such as recreation and recreation.
Together, they are essential factors for the valuation of land use. Therefore, it is
proposed to develop an analysis of recreational green areas appropriate to the
needs of the city. With it, you will facilitate the realization of inventories that
estimate social indicators, economic, and environmental indicators. The
importance of planning recreational parks is to involve citizen participation as
a necessary strategy to solve the problematic situations that arise; inclusive
processes must be ensured, especially to meet the demands of spreading
vulnerable social groups. It concludes the need to address green planning with
a focus on economic, social, and ecological studies that encourage the
involvement of society in this task.

1. Introduction
One of the fundamental considerations of this report is argued in the use and control of urban space in
terms of green areas and recreation within the city, to give added value to deteriorated or depressed
spaces for the inaction of municipal authorities and / or the laziness of the villages [1] [2]. If the city is
created and molded by people, this is due to the activities that are generated in it and should be
satisfied; Thus, in the green and recreational areas there is the physical imprint of the relations
established between the habitants of a society, and it will be essential to identify and know the divided
city and the social ties disrupted by the inequality [3] [4]. If we can facilitate the democratic and
equitable control of the actors themselves over their public space, we can assist their intervention in
the processes put in the value of the recreational green areas.
Is to contribute to guarantee peace, tranquillity and reduce crime and delinquency at the local level,
through an adequate treatment of recreational green spaces to deliver to the enjoyment of the
community [1], and therefore ward off children and youth from the ravages of not positively managing
their free time and leisure, away from the vices that disrupt morality and good customs, which is
ultimately part of the objectives of citizen security.
This is part of the democratization of public spaces and their accessibility without restrictions to the
community.
2. Method

2.1 Type of investigation

A description will be made of the multidimensional factors and the different manifestations of
phenomena associated with the use of recreational public spaces of Tablada de Lurin district, as to
show figure 1, measuring their characteristics, observing the configuration and processes that make up
these phenomena, which will be subjected to a physical analysis space. From this information, a
diagnosis of the current situation will be prepared. That is, the facts are observed as presented in their
real context and in a certain time or not and then analyzed. Therefore, in this design, a specific
situation is not constructed, but the ones that exist are observed.
Likewise, bibliographic information on historical events will be collected, to give it a cultural
identity and revalue land use. [4]

2.2 Procedures
These surveys were conducted in 04 Sectors of the Tablada de Lurin district, on different days and
times where there was a higher concentration of public.
An estimate of costs per square meter of land in the 05 Sectors for the years 1995 and 2019. A survey
conducted by information obtained from properties for sale.

3. Results
To Continuation, it shows the results obtained in the field survey on the land costs corresponding to
the Plus dimension.
According to Table 1, it is clearly established that the cost of land has increased to an average of
1384%.

According to Figure 2, in the curve of increase in the cost of land, it is observed in Sector 1 has the
highest percentage of growth in these last 24 years; while Sectors 4 and 5 reflect a smaller, but
significant increase with the investment made at the time of acquisition.

According to Table 2 and Figure 3, there is a marked tendency in the area of Tablada de Lurin to
insecurity with 70.8%, representing 85 respondents, while 14.2% refers to the inaccessible area. 7.5%
of respondents report that their recreational green space does not present social problems. This is
because the city is fenced and has access to certain times of the day.
On the other hand, 7.5% of respondents refer to the fact that the spaces are taken by antisocial
persons (mainly drug addiction). The 14.17% of surveyed are not satisfied because the green
recreational area is closed, and access is limited.

According to Table 3 and Figure 4, it is observed that the privatized public areas destined for
parks are the most representative of the survey of 120 people.
Considering the areas destined for parks and recreation, 93.33% of the respondents are aware of
some cases of loss of said areas for purposes beyond their purpose related to the urban plan. Land
invasions for housing purposes. [5]

stationary games. 32.50% of the population think the state of conservation of sports slabs to be good,
while 38.33% consider them excellent.

4. Discussion of results
The shortage of land to live, due to urban linear expansion, has increased the cost of the square meter
of land throughout the metropolis, this is no stranger to the study area, encouraging invasions
generally overlapping over green spaces. On the other hand, social insecurity (robberies, gangs, etc.),
diminish the value of the land. Therefore, the tendency for family groups to improve their purchasing
power, resolve to relocate to other residential areas of a better quality of services, there is an offer of
transfers and/or sales of land and real estate. Converting green areas with a recreation component
encourages neighbors to take care of the space and not allow invasion.
 The inability on the part of the municipal administration to be able to offer essential services
towards the public recreational areas has allowed areas to be taken by groups of people who live
outside the law-making them insecure. On the other hand, the tendency to become wasteland
conditions the possibility of being invaded by people who traffic with the land. The population claims
to be taken care of by the environmental aspects of these areas. [7] Furthermore, The construction and
maintenance of the infrastructure of green and recreational areas are part of the service that the
municipality should be granted to the population since it helps the healthy recreation of the mind,
body, and spirit of those who practice it. Away from the tremendous social problems identified and
contribute to reducing crime rates and therefore protect children and youth, involving them in
activities of enjoyment and coexistence. [8]

5. Conclusions
The provision of services and infrastructure to these recreational public spaces allows revaluing the
surrounding private lands, positively affecting what is the duty of the municipality to organize and
train the neighbors about the management of their maintenance. Moreover, the evaluation of the
services that the inhabitants demand of the green areas, evidences as an intrinsic necessity the
recreation "the citizen security," whose causal relation: State of the recreational green regions and the
insecurity, allows to argue that to foment the Control Natural of these public spaces is an instrument to
prevent crimes and, therefore, mitigate vulnerability. Furthermore, to characterize a public space is to
identify it with your neighborhood, which must use the essential services they demand, to impose its
presence as a community. This inclusive social approach is incorporated through assessments that
define the services that residents require from green areas as recreational and security needs. [8].
